A couple of months ago I wrote an article about the bikinis at Hunkemöller. Besides swimwear, Hunkemöller is also very well known for their large collection of pyjama’s and for this article they let me choose one of those. I went with retro polkadots, and in this article I’ll be telling you more about it!

Hunkemöller is a popular lingerie brand, from which I’ve bought quite a few bras already. Until recently I hadn’t bought any bikinis there yet. When Hunkemöller contacted me for a collaboration I went to their webshop to have a look, and I immediately saw a lot of very pretty bikinis. The question was whether they would look good on me because I have quite a flat chest, and padded cups don’t always look nice. In the store I tried on a couple of different styles, and this one was my absolute favourite!

As you all know I love wearing retro clothing, and that also includes retro-swimwear. Although Hunkemöller doesn’t focus on swimwear with a retro touch, they do have a couple of sets in that style. They have fun flower prints, colourful tops, and high-waisted bottoms. This model with the name Contemporary Stripe immediately caught my attention because of the stripes (my favourite print), and the fun wrap around detail. With my small bust, I often have the problem that a bikini top doesn’t stay in place properly, but because of the extra fabric to wrap around you can tighten it nicely so it creates some nice cleavage.

At Hunkemöller you have the option to mix and match your bikini top and bottom. You can go for two totally different colours that look good together, or you can go for a top with flower print, and a bottom with one colour. With the bikini I chose, there are also different options. Besides this top there was also one without the wrap around detail, and there was also a bottom that was completely striped. I went for these bottoms because they are more comfortable than the low-cut ones.
